Can Paul McKenna Make Me Thin?

If I had to say what my two biggest enemies to losing weight are I would probably say emotional eating and carbohydrate cravings. Now that my attempt to lose 100 pounds in 1 year appears to have stalled I have decided it’s time to do something about it — the question is what?

As I am originally from England, Paul McKenna is a familiar face on television to me. I remember watching his hypnosis show during my formative years. So when I saw that his award winning series, “I Can Make You Thin” had made it over here, I decided I had to watch. As part of the series he demonstrates a technique for controlling cravings and a technique for controlling emotional eating.

The technique for controlling emotional eating is based on the tapping technique created by Dr. Roger Callaghan as part of his Thought Field Therapy (TFT) techniques, and is demonstrated below:

As you can see, it involves using acupuncture points to help decrease your emotional desire.

Paul McKenna also demonstrates a second technique for helping control cravings, the tapping technique. This technique works by associating negative thoughts with the food that you are craving.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be trying both techniques to see if they work and I’ll report my findings here on thrive!
